Ibn Abbas (radhiAllahu anhu) says that Qarun was the cousin of
Musa (alayhis salam).
When their statement reached the ears of the godly righteous men
they said to them: Woe to you! The Reward of Allah is better for
those who believe and do righteous good deeds, i.e. the Reward of
Allah in the Hereafter is better and higher than this.
Allah Ta`ala says: So, We caused the earth to swallow him up and
his mansion. Then, he had no group or party to help him against
Allah, nor was he one of those who could save themselves.
It was narrated from Qatadah that he said: "They would sink into
the earth till the Day of Resurrection." Ibn Abbas (radhiAllahu anhu)
said: "They sank into the earth till they reached the the lowest portion
of the earth."
When the people saw what happened to Qarun and his treasures
of sinking into the earth and complete destruction, those who had
desired for money and position like his position the day before, felt
bad and thanked Allah Ta`ala and they said: “Had it not been that
Allah was kind to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us
up (also)! Know you not that the disbelievers will never be
successful?
Imam Ahmad, in his Musnad, reported that once the Prophet (alayhis
salam) remembered the prayer and said: "He who observes it
regularly and properly, it will be light, evidence and salvation for
him on the Day of Judgment. And, he who does not observe it
regularly and properly, there will neither be -for him -light, nor
evidence, nor salvation. And, on the Day of Resurrection, he will be
(gathered) with Qarun, Fir`aun , Haman and Ubaiy Ibn Khalaf".
So he went forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were
desirous of the life of the world, said: "Ah, would that we had the like
of what Qarun has been given! Verily he is the owner of a great
fortune."
But those who had been given (religious) knowledge said: "Woe
to you! The Reward of Allah (in the Hereafter) is better for those who
believe and do righteous good deeds, and this none shall attain
except those who are patient in following the truth.
